Final Fantasy - All Series Fan Fiction ❯ About Darkness ❯ Balamb Gardens ( Chapter 4 )

“God, Ellone, you feel so good Cid panted as he buried himself to the hilt in the brunette's soft, moist folds.

 

Her back was pressed against the wall, her legs wrapped firmly around the gunman's waist as she ran her hands through ruffled blond strands of hair.

 

“I love you” she whispered, her warm breath brushing against his brow.

Cid let out a low moan before capturing her lips with his own.

 

Xxx

 

Irvine leaned against one of the rocks that lined the beach and flicked his Stetson back to enjoy the warmth of the sun on his face. He grinned as he watched Yuffie jump Reno's back and steal the cigarette that was wedged between the redhead's lips.

 

“Smoking's bad for you girl! You'll be covered in wrinkles before you turn thirty!” he called out to her then let out a protesting yell as a small hand grabbed his hat and waved it in the air.

 

“Look who's talking!” Rinoa laughed and stepped backwards, eyes sparkling as she watched Irvine approach her with a smirk on his face.

 

“You better return that” he said and reached out to sneak the Stetson back.

 

Rinoa was too quick for him and flicked the head like a Frisbee over to Tifa who caught it with a wide grin.

 

“Ah! You're in on the conspiracy as well!” Irvine exclaimed and crossed his arms over his chest. “Really, Tifa, I would not have expected something as childish as this from you”

 

Tifa blushed but continued to grin. Her skin had taken on a healthier hue under the summer sun and the sword training had shaped her body.

 

It had taken Yuffie and Rinoa a while to crack Tifa's shell, but by now the once shy and withdrawn girl dared to join in when they relaxed after a day of sparring.

 

“Yo! What's up?” Cid greeted his companions as he strode down the path to the beach, holding Ellone's hand.

 

“Just chillin'” Irvine replied, taking his chance as his friend's arrival distracted Tifa for a second. He tackled her to the ground and snatched his Stetson back before getting up and placing it on his head.

 

“I win” he stated and quickly made his way out of Rinoa's reach who made an attempt to come after him.

 

Xxx

 

“Whatcha thin of Reno?” Yuffie asked. She was sitting cross-legged on the floor of her chamber, running an oil-soaked cloth over the blade of her dagger.

 

“Does it matter what I think” Ellone replied with a small smile. The brunette refilled her glass with wine before placing the bottle back on the nightstand. “If you want to hear my opinion… I think you should stop playing with him. The poor guy doesn't have a clue what to do. He's probably scared that you slice him open if he makes a move on you”

 

Yunnie replied with a hearty laugh and snatched the glass from Ellone. “Not everybody's as decisive as you. You got it going real fast with Cid”

 

“Yeah” Ellone grinned. “Life's too short to miss out on a guy like him”

 

The two women looked up as the door opened and Selphie entered the room. “Hey! Whatcha doin'? She asked and plopped down next to Ellone.

 

“Talking about men” her friend answered. “Speaking of which - is there anyone you want to tell us about?”

 

Selphie groaned and made a dismissive gesture. “All the decent blokes are taken. The only one around is Irvine and he hits on everything that moves. Jeez, he's even attempted to flirt with Tifa today! The iron virgin…” Yuffie shook her head. “Sorry. Didn't mean that”

 

Yuffie pouted. “She's a nice girl. A little… strange, but hey, aren't we all?”

 

“I'll drink to that!” Ellone replied, not bothering with the glass but retrieving the half-empty bottle and lifting it to her lips.
